The criteria are results such as profit, profitability, labor productivity, the level of financial independence and others. We judge about the effectiveness of management by changes in these criteria. The number of criteria varies, and the results often show opposite conclusions about the level of effectiveness. This approach is not relevant in market conditions since the external environment, in which the company operates, remains beyond the assessment zone: with a shrinking market, profit may decrease but this is not evidence of deterioration in management. The second methodological problem is the lack of assessment of the management process itself as a set of certain actions. The purpose of the study was to develop a scientific approach to assessing the effectiveness of management in a competitive environment. The article presents a methodology for assessing efficiency not only in terms of results (management efficiency) but also actions (process efficiency). The research methodology is based on critical analysis and synthesis of theoretical and practical approaches to management assessment. The unity of the assessment of the management process and its results is the scientific novelty of the proposed methodology.

It is possible to solve this kind of problems using intellectual methods of data analysis on the basis of information technologies. However, in scientific literature on toponymy, such methods are practically ignored. The article is devoted to the study of the origin and semantic meanings of geographical names based on finding semantic associates and calculating the semantic similarity of words using the embedding model. According to the proposed method, the origin of some toponyms of the Irkutsk region was determined, their semantic relations were revealed. The dichotomy method was used for toponyms that have two roots in their structure. This made it possible to improve the operation of the model by clarifying the morphemic composition of the original word. The method of word transformation was used to determine the etymology of the toponym «Moscow». We have received new versions of the origin of the toponym. It is shown that the application of the methods based on distributive semantics and vector representation of words, obtained on the basis of large arrays of text data, significantly expands the possibilities of research in the field of determining the origin of toponyms and clarifying their meaning.","PeriodicalId":9341,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Baikal State University","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75910759","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It affects the entire population of the Earth. The purpose of the research is to substantiate the necessity of ecological upgrading of thermal power facilities in the Irkutsk region and using a part of municipal solid waste as an alternative fuel at thermal power facilities of the Russian Federation. The research shows that the use of the two kinds of fuel (solid biofuel and alternative fuel) can reduce the anthropogenic load. This measure can be a way of energy efficient disposal of accumulated and annually generated production and consumer waste. The transition to alternative fuels can be most efficiently implemented in boiler houses. This is due to lower capital investments in the modernization of boiler houses as compared to the modernization of thermal power plants. The calculations in the article confirm that the implementation of environmental modernization of regional heat supply systems is not economically beneficial for entrepreneurs. The state should supplement the methods of regulation with targeted co-financing of programs for the modernization of thermal power facilities in order to accelerate the processes of modernization of heat supply in the Russian Federation.

The research conducted using the systemic mental and action approach showed that comprehensive strategic planning at the regional level is impossible without normative forecasting and environmental analysis, which state government bodies of the territorial entities of the Russian Federation do not pay sufficient attention to. Such stages of strategizing as forecasting and strategic planning play a major role in the process of strategizing. The article clarifies the concept of strategic management (strategizing) in relation to the socio-economic development of regions. It was found out that the shortcomings of the methodological tools and low level qualification of experts lead to a low quality of the developed forecast documents and management decisions. Suggestions have been developed to support the forecasting of the socio-economic development of the region through the use of qualitative forecasting methods.

Since it negatively affects not only the reputation and financial position of individual insurers, but also the development of the insurance market as a whole, the task of finding ways to counteract the facts of unfair behavior of consumers of services is becoming urgent. It should be borne in mind that consumer extremism is a complex, multifaceted phenomenon: it has legal, and at the same time social, economic, psychological foundations, motives and consequences. Therefore, it is extremely important to go beyond the purely legal aspects in this research. In this regard, the purpose of the work was to identify the most significant aspects in the study of consumer extremism as a phenomenon that takes place in the insurance market. As a result of the study, we came to the conclusion that it is necessary to take into account both the consumer's polysubject connections, which arise in the insurance market, and the multidisciplinary ones, which are formed within a particular insurance transaction. When assessing a possible area of relations where consumer extremism can manifest itself, we should take into account all scenarios of consumer’s activity from the passive one, in which the relationship does not go beyond the «policyholder — insurer», to the proactive one, when representatives of the insurance infrastructure are involved in the relationship. In the result a set of measures has been offered which would help prevent consumer extremism cases while implementing insurance relationships.","PeriodicalId":9341,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Baikal State University","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74774456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
